included as part of its original bid or submitted separately therewith for

purposes of bidding. A bid with options is considered an alternative bid

regardless of whether said bid proposal is contained in a single envelope or

submitted in two (2) or more separate bid envelopes.

14.2 Each Bidder shall submit only one Bid, either individually or as a partner in a

JV. A Bidder who submits or participates in more than one bid (other than as

a subcontractor if a subcontractor is permitted to participate in more than one

bid) will cause all the proposals with the Bidder’s participation to be

disqualified. This shall be without prejudice to any applicable criminal, civil

and administrative penalties that may be imposed upon the persons and

entities concerned.





20

15. Bid Prices

15.1. The Bidder shall complete the appropriate Schedule of Prices included herein,

stating the unit prices, total price per item, the total amount and the expected

countries of origin of the Goods to be supplied under this Project.

15.2. The Bidder shall fill in rates and prices for all items of the Goods described in

the Schedule of Prices. Bids not addressing or providing all of the required

items in the Bidding Documents including, where applicable, Schedule of

Prices, shall be considered non-responsive and, thus, automatically

disqualified. In this regard, where a required item is provided, but no price is

indicated, the same shall be considered as non-responsive, but specifying a

zero (0) or a dash (-) for the said item would mean that it is being offered for

free to the Government, except those required by law or regulations to be

accomplished.

15.3. The terms Ex Works (EXW), Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF), Cost and

Insurance Paid to (CIP), Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), and other trade terms

prescribed in the current edition of the International Commercial Terms

(INCOTERMS) published by the International Chamber of Commerce, Paris.

to delivery of the Goods to their final destination; and

(iv) The price of other (incidental) services, if any, listed in the

BDS.

(b) For Goods offered from abroad:

shall be quoted DDP with the place of destination in the

Philippines as specified in the BDS. In quoting the price, the

Bidder shall be free to use transportation through carriers

registered in any eligible country. Similarly, the Bidder may

obtain insurance services from any eligible source country.

Procuring Entity, in accordance with existing laws, rules and

regulations

15.5. Prices quoted by the Bidder shall be fixed during the Bidder’s performance of

the contract and not subject to variation or price escalation on any account. A

bid submitted with an adjustable price quotation shall be treated as non-

responsive and shall be rejected, pursuant to ITB Clause 24.

All bid prices for the given scope of work in the contract as awarded shall be

considered as fixed prices, and therefore not subject to price escalation during

contract implementation, except under extraordinary circumstances. Upon the

recommendation of the Procuring Entity, price escalation may be allowed in

extraordinary circumstances as may be determined by the National Economic

and Development Authority in accordance with the Civil Code of the

Philippines, and upon approval by the GPPB. Nevertheless, in cases where the

cost of the awarded contract is affected by any applicable new laws,

ordinances, regulations, or other acts of the GOP, promulgated after the date

of bid opening, a contract price adjustment shall be made or appropriate relief

shall be applied on a no loss-no gain basis.

16. Bid Currencies

16.1. Prices shall be quoted in the following currencies:

(a) For Goods that the Bidder will supply from within the Philippines, the

prices shall be quoted in Philippine Pesos.

(b) For Goods that the Bidder will supply from outside the Philippines, the

prices may be quoted in the currency(ies) stated in the BDS. However,

for purposes of bid evaluation, bids denominated in foreign currencies

shall be converted to Philippine currency based on the exchange rate as

published in the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reference rate

bulletin on the day of the bid opening.

16.2. If so allowed in accordance with ITB Clause 16.1, the Procuring Entity for

purposes of bid evaluation and comparing the bid prices will convert the

amounts in various currencies in which the bid price is expressed to Philippine

Pesos at the foregoing exchange rates.

16.3. Unless otherwise specified in the BDS, payment of the contract price shall be

made in Philippine Pesos.

17. Bid Validity

17.1. Bids shall remain valid for the period specified in the BDS which shall not

exceed one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date of the opening

of bids.

17.2. In exceptional circumstances, prior to the expiration of the bid validity period,

the Procuring Entity may request Bidders to extend the period of validity of





22

their bids. The request and the responses shall be made in writing. The bid

security described in ITB Clause 18 should also be extended corresponding to

the extension of the bid validity period at the least. A Bidder may refuse the

request without forfeiting its bid security, but his bid shall no longer be

considered for further evaluation and award. A Bidder granting the request

shall not be required or permitted to modify its bid.

18. Bid Security

18.1. The Bidder shall submit a Bid Securing Declaration or any form of Bid

Security in the amount stated in the BDS, which shall be not less than the

states, among others, that the Bidder shall enter into contract with the

procuring entity and furnish the performance security required under ITB

Clause 33.2, within ten (10) calendar days from receipt of the Notice of

Award, and commits to pay the corresponding amount as fine, and be

suspended for a period of time from being qualified to participate in any

government procurement activity in the event it violates any of the conditions

stated therein as provided in the guidelines issued by the GPPB.

18.2. The bid security should be valid for the period specified in the BDS. Any bid

not accompanied by an acceptable bid security shall be rejected by the

Procuring Entity as non-responsive.

18.3. No bid securities shall be returned to Bidders after the opening of bids and

before contract signing, except to those that failed or declared as post-

disqualified, upon submission of a written waiver of their right to file a request

for reconsideration and/or protest, or upon the lapse of the reglementary period

to file a request for reconsideration or protest. Without prejudice on its

forfeiture, bid securities shall be returned only after the Bidder with the

Lowest Calculated Responsive Bid (LCRB) has signed the contract and

furnished the performance security, but in no case later than the expiration of

the bid security validity period indicated in ITB Clause 18.2.

18.4. Upon signing and execution of the contract pursuant to ITB Clause 32, and the

28.3(b);

(iii) has a finding against the veracity of any of the documents

submitted as stated in ITB Clause 29.2;

other stage of the public bidding;

for purposes of public bidding;





24

(vii) withdrawal of a bid, or refusal to accept an award, or enter into

25

9184 and its IRR.





27

24. Opening and Preliminary Examination of Bids

24.1. The BAC shall open the bids in public, immediately after the deadline for the

submission and receipt of bids, as specified in the BDS. In case the Bids

cannot be opened as scheduled due to justifiable reasons, the BAC shall take

custody of the Bids submitted and reschedule the opening of Bids on the next

working day or at the soonest possible time through the issuance of a Notice of

Postponement to be posted in the PhilGEPS website and the website of the

Procuring Entity concerned.

24.2. Unless otherwise specified in the BDS, the BAC shall open the first bid

envelopes and determine each Bidder’s compliance with the documents

prescribed in ITB Clause 12, using a non-discretionary “pass/fail” criterion. If

a Bidder submits the required document, it shall be rated “passed” for that

particular requirement. In this regard, bids that fail to include any requirement

or are incomplete or patently insufficient shall be considered as “failed”.

Otherwise, the BAC shall rate the said first bid envelope as “passed”.

24.3. Unless otherwise specified in the BDS, immediately after determining

compliance with the requirements in the first envelope, the BAC shall

forthwith open the second bid envelope of each remaining eligible bidder

whose first bid envelope was rated “passed”. The second envelope of each

complying bidder shall be opened within the same day. In case one or more of

the requirements in the second envelope of a particular bid is missing,

incomplete or patently insufficient, and/or if the submitted total bid price

exceeds the ABC unless otherwise provided in ITB Clause 13.2, the BAC

shall rate the bid concerned as “failed”. Only bids that are determined to

contain all the bid requirements for both components shall be rated “passed”

and shall immediately be considered for evaluation and comparison.

24.4. Letters of Withdrawal shall be read out and recorded during bid opening, and

the envelope containing the corresponding withdrawn bid shall be returned to

the Bidder unopened.

24.5. All members of the BAC who are present during bid opening shall initial

every page of the original copies of all bids received and opened.

24.6. In the case of an eligible foreign bidder as described in ITB Clause 5, the

equivalent documents, if any, issued by the country of the foreign Bidder

concerned, which shall likewise be uploaded and maintained in the PhilGEPS

institutions, for the preceding calendar year which should not be earlier

than two years from the date of bid submission.

24.7. Each partner of a joint venture agreement shall likewise submit the

requirements in ITB Clause 12.1(a)(i). Submission of documents required

under ITB Clauses 12.1(a)(ii) to 12.1(a)(iii) by any of the joint venture

partners constitutes compliance.

24.8. The Procuring Entity shall prepare the minutes of the proceedings of the bid

opening that shall include, as a minimum: (a) names of Bidders, their bid price

(per lot, if applicable, and/or including discount, if any), bid security, findings

abstract of bids as read.

24.8 The bidders or their duly authorized representatives may attend the opening of

bids. The BAC shall ensure the integrity, security, and confidentiality of all

submitted bids. The Abstract of Bids as read and the minutes of the bid

opening shall be made available to the public upon written request and

payment of a specified fee to recover cost of materials.

24.9 To ensure transparency and accurate representation of the bid submission, the

BAC Secretariat shall notify in writing all bidders whose bids it has received

through its PhilGEPS-registered physical address or official e-mail address.

The notice shall be issued within seven (7) calendar days from the date of the

bid opening.

E. Evaluation and Comparison of Bids

25. Process to be Confidential

25.1. Members of the BAC, including its staff and personnel, as well as its

Secretariat and TWG, are prohibited from making or accepting any kind of

communication with any bidder regarding the evaluation of their bids until the

issuance of the Notice of Award, unless otherwise allowed in the case of ITB

Clause 26.

25.2. Any effort by a bidder to influence the Procuring Entity in the Procuring

Entity’s decision in respect of bid evaluation, bid comparison or contract

award will result in the rejection of the Bidder’s bid.





29

26. Clarification of Bids

To assist in the evaluation, comparison, and post-qualification of the bids, the

Procuring Entity may ask in writing any Bidder for a clarification of its bid. All

responses to requests for clarification shall be in writing. Any clarification submitted

by a Bidder in respect to its bid and that is not in response to a request by the

Procuring Entity shall not be considered.

27. Domestic Preference

27.1. Unless otherwise stated in the BDS, the Procuring Entity will grant a margin

of preference for the purpose of comparison of bids in accordance with the

following:

(a) The preference shall be applied when the lowest Foreign Bid is lower

than the lowest bid offered by a Domestic Bidder.

(b) For evaluation purposes, the lowest Foreign Bid shall be increased by

fifteen percent (15%).

(c) In the event that the lowest bid offered by a Domestic Bidder does not

exceed the lowest Foreign Bid as increased, then the Procuring Entity

shall award the contract to the Domestic Bidder at the amount of the

lowest Foreign Bid.

(d) If the Domestic Bidder refuses to accept the award of contract at the

amount of the Foreign Bid within two (2) calendar days from receipt of

written advice from the BAC, the Procuring Entity shall award to the

bidder offering the Foreign Bid, subject to post-qualification and

submission of all the documentary requirements under these Bidding

Documents.

27.2. A Bidder may be granted preference as a Domestic Bidder subject to the

certification from the DTI that the Bidder is offering unmanufactured articles,

materials or supplies of the growth or production of the Philippines, or

manufactured articles, materials, or supplies manufactured or to be

manufactured in the Philippines substantially from articles, materials, or

supplies of the growth, production, or manufacture, as the case may be, of the

Philippines.

28. Detailed Evaluation and Comparison of Bids

28.1. The Procuring Entity will undertake the detailed evaluation and comparison of

bids which have passed the opening and preliminary examination of bids,

pursuant to ITB Clause 24, in order to determine the Lowest Calculated Bid.

28.2. The Lowest Calculated Bid shall be determined in two steps:

(a) The detailed evaluation of the financial component of the bids, to

establish the correct calculated prices of the bids; and





30

(b) The ranking of the total bid prices as so calculated from the lowest to

the highest. The bid with the lowest price shall be identified as the

Lowest Calculated Bid.

28.3. The Procuring Entity’s BAC shall immediately conduct a detailed evaluation

of all bids rated “passed,” using non-discretionary pass/fail criteria. The BAC

shall consider the following in the evaluation of bids:

(a) Completeness of the bid. Unless the BDS allows partial bids, bids not

addressing or providing all of the required items in the Schedule of

Requirements including, where applicable, Schedule of Prices, shall be

considered non-responsive and, thus, automatically disqualified. In this

regard, where a required item is provided, but no price is indicated, the

same shall be considered as non-responsive, but specifying a zero (0)

or a dash (-) for the said item would mean that it is being offered for

free to the Procuring Entity, except those required by law or

regulations to be provided for; and

(b) Arithmetical corrections. Consider computational errors and omissions

to enable proper comparison of all eligible bids. It may also consider

bid modifications. Any adjustment shall be calculated in monetary

terms to determine the calculated prices.

28.4. Based on the detailed evaluation of bids, those that comply with the above-

mentioned requirements shall be ranked in the ascending order of their total

calculated bid prices, as evaluated and corrected for computational errors,

discounts and other modifications, to identify the Lowest Calculated Bid.

Total calculated bid prices, as evaluated and corrected for computational

errors, discounts and other modifications, which exceed the ABC shall not be

considered, unless otherwise indicated in the BDS.

28.5. The Procuring Entity’s evaluation of bids shall be based on the bid price

quoted in the Bid Form, which includes the Schedule of Prices.

28.6. Bids shall be evaluated on an equal footing to ensure fair competition. For

this purpose, all bidders shall be required to include in their bids the cost of all

taxes, such as, but not limited to, value added tax (VAT), income tax, local

taxes, and other fiscal levies and duties which shall be itemized in the bid form

and reflected in the detailed estimates. Such bids, including said taxes, shall

be the basis for bid evaluation and comparison.

28.7. If so indicated pursuant to ITB Clause 1.2, Bids are being invited for

individual lots or for any combination thereof, provided that all Bids and

combinations of Bids shall be received by the same deadline and opened and

evaluated simultaneously so as to determine the Bid or combination of Bids

offering the lowest calculated cost to the Procuring Entity. Bid prices quoted

shall correspond to all items specified for each lot and to all quantities

specified for each item of a lot. Bid Security as required by ITB Clause 18

shall be submitted for each contract (lot) separately. The basis for evaluation

of lots is specified in BDS Clause 28.3.





31

29. Post-Qualification

29.1. The BAC shall determine to its satisfaction whether the Bidder that is

evaluated as having submitted the Lowest Calculated Bid complies with and is

responsive to all the requirements and conditions specified in ITB Clauses 5,

12, and 13.

29.2. Within a non-extendible period of five (5) calendar days from receipt by the

bidder of the notice from the BAC that it submitted the Lowest Calculated

Bid, the Bidder shall submit its latest income and business tax returns filed and

paid through the BIR Electronic Filing and Payment System (eFPS) and other

appropriate licenses and permits required by law and stated in the BDS.

Failure to submit any of the post-qualification requirements on time, or a

finding against the veracity thereof, shall disqualify the bidder for award.

Provided in the event that a finding against the veracity of any of the

documents submitted is made, it shall cause the forfeiture of the bid security in

accordance with Section 69 of the IRR of RA 9184.

29.3. The determination shall be based upon an examination of the documentary

evidence of the Bidder’s qualifications submitted pursuant to ITB Clauses 12

and 13, as well as other information as the Procuring Entity deems necessary

and appropriate, using a non-discretionary “pass/fail” criterion, which shall be

completed within a period of twelve (12) calendar days.

29.4. If the BAC determines that the Bidder with the Lowest Calculated Bid passes

all the criteria for post-qualification, it shall declare the said bid as the LCRB,

and recommend to the HoPE the award of contract to the said Bidder at its

submitted price or its calculated bid price, whichever is lower.

29.5. A negative determination shall result in rejection of the Bidder’s Bid, in which

event the Procuring Entity shall proceed to the next Lowest Calculated Bid

with a fresh period to make a similar determination of that Bidder’s

capabilities to perform satisfactorily. If the second Bidder, however, fails the

30. Reservation Clause

30.1. Notwithstanding the eligibility or post-qualification of a Bidder, the Procuring

Entity concerned reserves the right to review its qualifications at any stage of

the procurement process if it has reasonable grounds to believe that a

misrepresentation has been made by the said Bidder, or that there has been a

change in the Bidder’s capability to undertake the project from the time it

submitted its eligibility requirements. Should such review uncover any

misrepresentation made in the eligibility and bidding requirements, statements

or documents, or any changes in the situation of the Bidder which will affect

its capability to undertake the project so that it fails the preset eligibility or bid

evaluation criteria, the Procuring Entity shall consider the said Bidder as

ineligible and shall disqualify it from submitting a bid or from obtaining an

award or contract.

30.2. Based on the following grounds, the Procuring Entity reserves the right to

reject any and all bids, declare a Failure of Bidding at any time prior to the

contract award, or not to award the contract, without thereby incurring any

liability, and make no assurance that a contract shall be entered into as a result

of the bidding:

(a) If there is prima facie evidence of collusion between appropriate public

officers or employees of the Procuring Entity, or between the BAC and

any of the Bidders, or if the collusion is between or among the bidders

themselves, or between a Bidder and a third party, including any act

which restricts, suppresses or nullifies or tends to restrict, suppress or

nullify competition;

(b) If the Procuring Entity’s BAC is found to have failed in following the

prescribed bidding procedures; or

(c) For any justifiable and reasonable ground where the award of the

contract will not redound to the benefit of the GOP as follows:

(i) If the physical and economic conditions have significantly

changed so as to render the project no longer economically,

financially or technically feasible as determined by the HoPE;

(ii) If the project is no longer necessary as determined by the

HoPE; and

(iii) If the source of funds for the project has been withheld or

reduced through no fault of the Procuring Entity.

30.3. In addition, the Procuring Entity may likewise declare a failure of bidding

when:

(a) No bids are received;

(b) All prospective Bidders are declared ineligible;





33

(c) All bids fail to comply with all the bid requirements or fail post-

qualification; or

(d) The bidder with the LCRB refuses, without justifiable cause to accept

the award of contract, and no award is made in accordance with

Section 40 of the IRR of RA 9184.
